Aside from the type of structure and the materials used in construction, outdoor lighting is an important contributing factor to the overall image of a building. Façade lighting rounds off the architectural design and adds style and flair..
The great variety of available outdoor luminaires on offer give home owners the opportunity to be creative with light. Home outdoor lighting also has another benefit: it makes your home safer and acts as a deterrent for burglars.
Beleuchtung sollte nicht dazu führen, dass Insekten und andere Tiere die Orientierung verlieren und zum Beispiel Probleme bei der Nahrungssuche haben. Denn ohne Insekten werden unsere wunderschönen Bäume und Beete nicht angeflogen und können nicht bestäubt werden.
Was also tun, um den Garten insekten- und tierfreundlich zu gestalten und gleichzeitig für wunderschöne Beleuchtung zu sorgen? Eine Lösung liegt in der richtigen Lichtfarbe.
1. How do I choose the right lighting for my home?
Outdoor lighting has so much more uses than just illuminating your garden or bringing light to your patio. You can choose low-key recessed or surface-mounted luminaires, or go for wall luminaires that highlight your façade with eye-catching light effects. Such light effects in particular, can bring life and style to the entrance to your home.
Je mehr Rotanteile im Licht enthalten sind, desto weniger gefährlich wird es für die nützlichen Krabbler, doch auch für uns hat das Gold Light (oder auch Amber Light) weitere Vorteile. Das warmweiße Licht erinnert an einen Sonnenuntergang: So bringt es Gemütlichkeit und Entspannung in den Garten! Die Farbtemperatur von Gold Light liegt zwischen 2200 und 3000 Kelvin.

3. Lighting the façade
Wall luminaires are a great choice for lighting the outside of your home – as façade lighting or in the form of indirect, glare-free illumination of your entrance area. You can choose luminaires that suit the type of façade of your home. You can even be a bit creative in terms of style combinations. Traditional half-timbered houses, for example, can look great with modern LED façade lighting. There are various designs and models of outdoor wall luminaires to choose from: stylishly designed stainless steel spotlights are right on trend.
By the way, you can also have wall luminaire with replacement lenses for various beam angles. With these, you can adapt the lighting effect to your own expectations. The house number module is especially practical. It can be attached on the top or bottom of all Cone wall luminaires.
Tiere bewegen sich auf der Suche nach Nahrung im Schutze der Nacht in ihrem Territorium. Durch Außenbeleuchtung können sogenannte Lichtschneisen entstehen, die das Territorium einschränken und somit die Nahrungssuche beeinflussen können. Um das zu vermeiden reicht es bereits, nicht den gesamten Garten auszuleuchten, sondern auch unbeleuchtete Areale zu schaffen, in denen sich Tiere ungestört bewegen können. Darüber hinaus verleiht das Spiel aus Licht und Schatten dem Garten zusätzliche Tiefe
und lässt ihn so interessanter wirken!

2. Light on the porch or under the roof overhang
The porch or an overhanging roof are great installation locations for direct orientation lighting with recessed luminaires if you want to bring light to the outside of your home. Circumferential lighting creates a basic brightness all around the outside of your home, while highlighting the façades. The whole property appears upgraded, as the colour and external structure is displayed to best effect. Beyond pure aesthetics, there are many practical aspects for light all around your home – and it is a good deterrent for burglars as well.
Wenn der Abend auf der Terrasse oder im Garten beendet und der Garten verlassen wird, sollte das Licht ausgeschaltet werden. Gerade Bäume, Sträucher und Beete sollten nicht über Nacht eingeschaltet bleiben. Wer nachts nicht nochmal hinaus muss, schaltet auch zusätzliche Wegebeleuchtungen aus.
Bei der Beleuchtung benötigter Wege eignen sich Leuchten mit integriertem Bewegungsmelder, die das Licht einschalten, sobald sich jemand nähert und automatisch nach einigen Sekunden wieder ausschalten. So schont ein verantwortungsbewusster Umgang mit Außenbeleuchtung nicht nur die Umwelt, sondern ganz nebenbei auch den Geldbeutel.
